Experimenting with my Hand Saw

https://www.etsy.com/listing/208255639/robins-egg-blue-earrings-enameled-copper?ref=shop_home_active_10
 So, I've been playing with my hand saw experimenting with cutting designs on the interior of metal pieces.  When developing new processes and techniques, I tend to default to some of my reliable faves for other aspects of the designs and for these earrings I've cut whimsical freehand hearts - I love heart shapes! I've also repeated the enameling in gorgeous robin's egg but embellished the color with a sprinkling of orient red, a pretty complementary contrast!

While creating these earrings, I could also see future designs featuring the concave side of my little domed discs, perhaps with some hammering for texture and finishing with oxidization rather than enameling...
 
If you're keen, these are available in the shop today! Just click on the photos for the link.
 
Hope the sun is out where you are ~ xo

Seduction...

Pursuit and seduction are the essence...
~ Camille Paglia
necklace and earrings in sulty red, are new for Valentine's Day!
I love the elongated 'wild heart' shape, new from Swarovski, and the beautiful irregular faceting on these gorgeous crystals. Oxidized sterling silver adds depth and drama!

New Sweetheart Hoops

You know when that tingle...that beckoning voice that nudges you back to your worktable after dozens of summery lazy days...well, mine has been shouting "GET TO WORK!!! AUTUMN IS ALMOST HERE AND SOON IT'LL BE CHRISTMAS!!!!!" for a couple of weeks now. I finally set up a table in our summer 'cottage' that I don't have to tidy up every day and have settled down to a couple of wonderful, productive days of creating, photgraphing and really enjoying myself!
I've been experimenting with different metals and patinas on sterling silver. These hoops turned the prettiest combination of copper, grey, bronze and shades of deep blue ~ perfect for autumn and to complement my favorite little czech hearts!
There are several new designs to come! Drop by Wild Woman Jewelry and see what's new! Settle down, little voice!
